Depends on the circumstances as to wether or not that's a valid rationale. Especially if you're comparing line bidding to PBS.
PBS is arguably more efficient, causes less open time, and results in less bodies to staff the operation.
The inefficiencies of line bidding create more open time, and the requirement for more bodies.
